Abstract

Multidimensional fluorescence imaging represents a powerful approach for studying the dynamic cellular processes underpinning the development, function, and maintenance of the mammary gland. Here, we describe key multidimensional imaging strategies that enable visualization of mammary branching morphogenesis and epithelial cell fate dynamics during postnatal and embryonic mammary gland development. These include 4-dimensional intravital microscopy and ex vivo imaging of embryonic mammary cultures, in addition to methods that facilitate 3-dimensional imaging of the ductal epithelium at single-cell resolution within its native stroma. Collectively, these approaches provide a window into mammary developmental dynamics, and the perturbations underlying tissue dysfunction and disease.
